23 years ago, John Mahon and
Eamonn Maher realized their dream. The goal
was to create a pub with old-world charm and
warmth near the heart of the big city. They
wanted to create an up-scale pub that embraced
its neighborhood roots. John and Eammon had
a vision of intimate booths and secluded tables
with the smell of mahogany permeating through
the room.

They discovered a bar and restaurant that was
as comfortable as your own living room. The space
was in the perfect location where tourists, locals,
and the business elite could sit side-by-side
to enjoy a pint together. Located close to St.
Patrick’s Cathedral, right down the block
from Rockefeller Center and the bustling shops
of 5th Avenue, they knew they had found their
future home. There, in the space formerly known
as “The Gathering Steakhouse,” PJ
Moran’s was born.
